new comments - page numbers & next/previous location

We finallly went live with the storyteller system on the website I was developing and now have noticed something. With the news comments is there anyway to get the page numbers in there, besides just a next and previous button? If not is there a way to make a first and last link? And lastly is there a way to put these links on the top of the comments in addition to on the bottom?

Thanks.

Hmm... strange, I guess my display (an Apple 20" Cinema display) doesn't go wide enough. I will update the image to be wider. Thanks for noticing this.

For example, on this page - http://www.2cpu.com/story.php?id=3859 - it would display "34 PSUs Reviewed at Hexus.net" in the title bar instead of "2CPU.com - The one stop source for everything SMP!" along with generated keywords from this news story. This makes the pages much more search engine friendly.


Ah, that might be useful. I will have to ask the owners of the site if they would like the title to reflect the story title though.

Thanks again.

I hadn't noticed any problem like that beforee could you tell me what browser you are using?

What will those do exactly?

You can set the default page title/keywords at Other/Websites => Edit => WEBSITE HEADER

2) You might want to use:

<title>$insert[page_title]</title> 

and

<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="$insert[page_keywords]" /> 

after Storyteller is using both for title and keywords.

3) The "Powered by" notice is missing.)

I thought this wasn't required on the paid version, If I was mistaken, I'm sorry and I will add it right away.

Edit: I just read your products page and saw that removing the powered by notice costs additional money, so I was mistaken. Sorry! I will add it back in now.

A few modifications are necessary

1) Open story.php in your text editor and find:

$cstart = $page * 25-25; 

Add after this line the following:

                if ($page > 1)

{
$apage = $page;
$apage = $apage - 1;
$insert[comment_url] = "story.php?id=$id&page=$apage";
$insert[comment_prevpage] .= GetTemplate("comments_previous_page");
}

//Comment pages
$allpages = $entries / 25;
$allpages++;
for ($x = 1; $x <= $allpages; $x++) $insert[comment_pages] .= "<a href="https://www.contentteller.com/story.php?id=$id&page=$x">$x</a> ";
$ustart = $page * 25;

if ($ustart < $entries)
{
$bpage = $page;
$bpage++;
$insert[comment_url] = "story.php?id=$id&page=$bpage";
$insert[comment_nextpage] .= GetTemplate("comments_next_page");
}

if (($insert[comment_nextpage]) or ($insert[comment_prevpage]))
{
$thispage .= GetTemplate("comments_nav");
}

Find:
                if ($cstart > 25)

{
$apage = $page;
$apage = $apage - 1;
$insert[comment_url] = "story.php?id=$id&page=$apage";
$insert[comment_prevpage] .= GetTemplate("comments_previous_page");
}

and add after:

                //Comment pages

$allpages = $entries / 25;
$allpages++;
for ($x = 1; $x <= $allpages; $x++) $insert[comment_pages] .= "<a href="https://www.contentteller.com/story.php?id=$id&page=$x">$x</a> ";

Next, open the template comments_nav and add $insert[comment_page] somewehere in the HTML part.

and

<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="$insert[page_keywords]" /> 

after Storyteller is using both for title and keywords.
3) The "Powered by" notice is missing. Please re-add this. Feel free to customize the notice to fit your layout. Two examples:  http://www.techspot.com (short text notice at buttom),  http://www.3dchips.net (graphical button on the right side)
